The present study aimed at identifying the democratic practices that can be followed in the EFL university classes and investigating their effect on the students' attitude towards the English language learning at the postgraduate level. A democratic practices list was identified. These practices were followed in EFL classes all the academic year by both the students and/or the instructor. A democratic practices scale of 40 items was developed and administered to the students to rate them. Another scale of 12 items was developed to examine the effect of using the democratic practices on the students' attitude towards English language course. The findings of the first scale showed that the democratic practices were followed and practiced in EFL classes during the academic year 2003-2004. Four items of freedom of self-expression were agreed to by the students without gender differences. Eleven items of the mutual respect dimension, except item number 2: "The instructor used tough utterances in his treatment with students in the EFL classes", five items of taking responsibility, three of taking decisions, six items of equality, six items of justice dimension and 3 items of common interest dimension were used and practiced in the EFL classes. Few gender differences had been reported. The second scale revealed that the students benefited very much from the English language course taught accompanying the democratic practices. All the students reported their positive attitudes towards leaning the EFL classes because they were very useful to them. Appended are: (1) 40-item democratic practices scale written in Arabic; and (2) 12-item attitude scale written in Arabic. (Contains 10 tables.)
